This week, as I do most weeks, I set out for a long run with my son in the pram. As I've written about before, I enjoy these runs as I get to spend time with my son. Pram runs also make me run slower and enjoy time on my feet. They act as a bit of a recovery run and help when I'm putting in big miles week in week out. And when I've got the pram with me, I can do other things like pick up some shopping from the supermarket as I've got somewhere to carry it. I planned on running 20 miles with the pram this week but things didn't quite go to plan.

I've got two big races coming up in the next 8 weeks. The Barry 40 miler on the track, which is also the Welsh Ultra Distance Championships. And the Northern Ireland Ultra Running Association 100 km race which is also the British 100 km Championships. As I'll need to be running these races at a decent pace to be competitive (~6:00/mile), carbohydrate will be an important source of fuel. With that in mind, I've been refining my fuelling strategy recently so that I can be well prepared on the day.
I've been enjoying some of the best running of my life over the last year and 2023 is my first year in the V35 age category. With this in mind, I've started to look towards the future and consider how I can make long lasting changes to benefit both my performance and health. This post explores the changes I have made, how I feel they have had a positive effect, and some of the science behind why.
